Farfisa (thing)

A company in Italy, famed for the electric organs they made in the 1960s. Organs with a cheesy vibe that was a staple of many a trashrock band (and non-rockists like Sun Ra and Sly Stone played one), a sound revived over the years in bands that sought the garage band idiot-energy holy grail (e.g. The Fleshtones). The sound of ? and the Mysterians' "96 Tears", and their remarkably similar "Can't Get Enough of You Baby", and the Original Symptoms' classic "Double Shot of My Baby's Love".
